Effect of Colloid Centrifugation and Cold Storage of Boar Semen at 4 °C on Bacterial Load and Sperm Quality

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Alternatives to antibiotics in semen extenders used for pig breeding are needed. Cold storage of boar semen is possible in certain extenders; however, bacteria can still survive.
